The End

What happens now i don’t know

You turned your back and left

Endless empty words they meant nothing

to you


Texting and calling always led to voicemail

Guess your too busy?

Yet other people comment about how you’ve been

Am I off your family list?


How long has it been since I last saw you

You always said your too busy yet your always online

Are we just out of time?


All the memories they...

Pain 😔🖤

The pain and hurt, screaming your name on the nights I felt lost. Thought you’d rescue me and you didn’t. I clawed at the walls of my welded cage, hoping to be released. I never dreamt that it was your hands keeping me tied up.


All the efforts into keeping you close, all the cries for your reckless help, the bleeding for the sake of your name. Well… I guess it was all in vain. You never came back...

The Villains Side

I thought our love story would last

But you left me in the past

Made me villain of the kingdom

Played the heartbroken brooding victims


And you took off on a horse

With a girl and no remorse

Didn’t look back to the day

You took off and ran away


Was I just some broken heart

That you fixed and tore apart

Was I just another game

A pawn you wanted to claim


Now I am the witch of town

And you’ve stole...

All For Naught

It doesn’t end with the line, because it got away from me and I couldn’t make it work. It was heavily inspired by it though so I’m posting it under the prompt anyway.


Anyway, this isn’t my best work, but better to post something than nothing! Here it is

Loss of War

Watching my people get slaughtered, I shake my head, further doubting the possibility that we could ever be free. All we want is equal treatment and equal rights. The government has been oppressing us since it became corrupted and stole too much power.


I always encouraged the people to be peaceful about it, but… was I wrong?


To fight fire with fire is rhetorical. Redundant. Nothing is ever ac...

Ending Of A Long Battle

I don’t know why we fought

All I know was the chaos it brought


And I don’t know what we did to create pain

I guess it was all in vain...

A False Hope

I stare. The wind rushes past me, bringing with the smell of of plastic and wood burning, and I can’t think. Burning, burning. My minds empty, all I can do is stare. I feel like I’m floating, removed. Above this burning world. “My son”. The thought slips in and suddenly time starts moving faster. I spin around to the shadows behind me. “I know your there” I scream. “I know your there. You told me ...

Attempt At Independence

I wrung my scarf in my hands as I sat on an armchair in my bedroom, the colourful plush cushion wedged behind my sweaty back. I had finally managed the courage to announce to my husband, Fawad, that I would start working as a biomedical lab technician again. I had gotten an interview offer. Twelve years of marriage and two children later, I was tired of the same routine. I wanted my career back.
